Jacques Filtrelle's slorhni supplied n number of thrills' throughout the play and the director has cleverly worked up the suspense to the very end. Tt would be best to ascertain the time of the picture's beginning in order thnt the denouement mry be appreciated. When the theft of the jewel Is dis covered, many people tnke up the search, among them one who Is suspected as being the criminnl. Hut the events lead to n surprise. The love interest lias been made subsidiary to the dramatic plot. The high lights of the thriller nre the blowing up of a yacht and the snitch ing of a locomotive in pursuit of n train so as to avoid il wreck. Wyndhnm Standing Is good as the chief player, tthlln Hvlvln Ttrenmpr makes a lileaslnz Ljinpenrnnce ns the girl. Henry Herbert gives a nne portrnyni ns one 01 me party in search of the criminal. Arcadia "The Little Shepherd of Kincdom Come" has Jnek Pickford as the famous character of John Fox. Jr.'s, novel. The story has been excellently mounted bv the Goldwvn studio staff , nnd the photography is of the nrtistle variety. Not only is the stnr cast in n !n role which fits him. but the support ing players have been chosen with fqunl j care ; a rarity in Oiesr days when stars must be placed so ns to make them shine forth from the rest of the group. i There Is human appeal to the story. J Tt wns done on the stage in n different manner, but the film version is better. for it covers more of the plot. A boy runs nwny from bis mountain home and finds frietids to tnke him in in a Kentucky town. A girl whom he knew in his old home loves him and then the war starts between North nnd South. The lnd takes side with the North and is forced j to go to the home of the little girl he has learned to love in search of a niem 1 ber of her family. The end is shown , as a happy one for nil except the first little mountain girl lover. Pauline Starke gave n portrayal that I was fine and pathetic as the mountain ' lass, while the golden hair nnd baby face of Clara Horton were in contrast, , making her excellent work stand out ns it did n "The Girl From Outside." Wallace Worslcy directed it. j Victoria "12:10" has Marie Doro 1 as Its star and it is certainly n treat for filmdom, as she is appealing nnd interesting. Marie Doro's work in this film, which was taken in Paris and England, recalled her work in other fi'ms of T'r.ited Sjntes make. For n "foreign" production, against which much hns been said, this one stands out with surprising qualities of enter tainment. Perhaps it is due to the dl- reetion of Herbert Hrenon, who so journed in this Innd for a time while making some movies with Nazhnova and other stars.

The story deals with the machinations of a business manager for n man who adopts n girlj Ho makes his will nnd leaves the residue of bis estate to tho girl, providing sho will stay in the somo room with his body for an hour. Thrills nud creeps for n minute, but as in a ccrtnlti scene in "Komeo and Juliet" well, It is best not to disclose the part before the censor seal. The rejuvenated "Tllllc's Punctured Komancc" was nlso like seeing persons of the past, for many players appeared who made us laugh With their old nntlcs. Hegent "Easy to Get." with Mar guerite Clark as the girl who ninnies a man who makes the remark. "All women nre reallv easy to gel If you just go about it in tho right way.", Of course, this leads' to a disagreement be tween n newly wedded couple nud the result is the bride leaves the husband. It takes many reels of good movie ma terial before the pair are happily re united and the husunnd shown the error of his rcninrks. Marguerite Clark Is ever n delight to watch In her work; she has some mannerisms which make her work dis tinctive. The direction of Walter Ed wards gnve the story just the right sense of comedy nnd Itola Forrester and Mnpn Page, the authors, arc to be congratu lated in supplying a story in which the Rtnr showed tip well. The Paramount production is adequate. Belmont "Deadline at Eleven." with Corinuo Griffith in the role of a jociety girl who. goes' in for newspaper work as n lark, 1ut finally likes it when she is given a column to conduct Ruth Hyers, the author, has supplied a mur der case with tho society girl reporter going in to do n story about a lost girl. There is love interest, but rather sub dued. The newspaper office scenes are carefully done and George Fawcett, n fine nctor'. but not so good n director, is responsible for the acting. It seems ns though the story were a bit of the tempo used by ' Mr. Fawcett's recent employer. D. W. Griffith, but without the lntter's fine points. Vitngraph made the play.
